   To -DR.D,C,JOSHI, DIRECTOR, CGHS,, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE, NEW DELHI-

   FROM S.MURALI, ADVOCATE, FLAT NO.102, SRI SRINIVASANILAYAM, CHINAMUSHIDIWADA, CHANAKYANAGAR, VISAKHAPTNAM-530053, PHONE NO.0891-2755077 / MOBILE NO.9494918353

   RESPECTED SIR,

   SUB; CGHS DISPENSARY IN VISAKHPATNAM,-AP -SANCTIONED BY GOI – EMPANELMENT OF STATE GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED PRIVATE CORPORATE HOSPITALS – REQUESTED

   AS YOUR GOODSELF IS AWARE A ‘CGHS DISPENSARY’ WAS SANCTIONED BY THE HONOURABLE HEALTH MINISTER AS IS PUBLISHED IIN THE NEWS PAPER AND ANNOUNCED BY HIMJ IN THE PUBLIC MEETING IN VISAKHPTNAM.

   I URGE YOUR GOOD SELF TO KINDLY EXPEDITE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SAME AT A SUITABLE LOCALITY WITH FULL PARAPHERNALIA AS SEVERAL PENSIONERS AGED ABOVE 65-70 YEARS ARE EAGERLY AWAITING FOR UTILIZING THE FACILITY..

   AT THE SAME TIME, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE 7TH PAY COMMISSION, THOSE PRIVATE CORPORATE HOSPITALS ALREADY APPROVED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF AP MAY KINDLY BE EMPANELLED UNDER CGHS SO THAT WHILE OUTPATIENT TRETMENT COULD BE AVAILED IN THE CGHS DISPENSARY, IN PATIENT TREATMENT COULD BE AVAILED IN THE EMPANELLED HOSPITALS ON CASHLESS BASIS WITHOUT TRAVELING ALL THE WAY TO HYDERABAD.

   GOING TO HYDRA BAD, WHILE PATIENT NEEDS URGENT / IMMEDIATE TREATMENT IS QUITE COMBURSOM AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. AS THERE ARE MANY DIFFICULTIES WHICH HAVE TO BE PASSED.

   TOTAL ANDHRA PRADESH IS A NON-CGHS COVERED AREA EXCEPT HYDERABAD AND THE EMPLOYEES ARE GETTING MEDICAL TREATMENT UNDER CCS.(ME) RULES, 1944. RULE 2 AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZES THE CORPORATE PRIVATE HOSPITALS APPROVED BY GOVERNMENT OF AP,AS CENTRALGOVERNMENT HOSPITALS AND PERMITS THEM TO UTIILIZES THE SERICES OF THOSE HOSPITALS ON CASHLESS SERVICE.

   BUT CCS(ME) RULES ARE APPLICABLE TO SERVING EMPLOYEES ONLY AS PER THE GOI POLICY AT THE TIME OF FRAMING THOSE RULES.

   NOW CGHS IS FORMED AND COVERS ALL THE EMPLOYEES -SERVING AND RETIRED, AND THE RULE IS NOW RELAXED AND ALLOWED THE PENSIONERS ALSO TO GET THE TREATMENT UNDER EMPANELLED /RECOGNIZED HOSPITALS -ON PAY & OBTAIN REIMBURSEMENT BASIS – IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO RELAX THE RULES FURTHER AND EMPANEL THE STATE GOVERNMENT APPROVED PRIVATE CORPOIRATE HOSPITLS, AS THE MEDICAL STANDARDS FOR APPROVAL /EMPANELLMENT ARE ONE AND THE SAME.

   THE PRIVATE HOSPIALS ARE READY TO TREAT THE PENSIONERS, ON CGHS RATES AND ON CASHLESS BASIS, EVEN NOW, PROVIDED THEY ARE ASSURED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, THAT THEY ARE PERMITTED TO TREAT THE PENSIONERS AND OBTAIN REIMBURSEMENT ON CGHS RATES. THEY ARE ALSO READY TO EXECUTE MOU PLUS THE REQUIRED BOND, ONCE THE ARE ADVISED TO DO SO.

   THEREFORE, THE GOI POLICY MAY KINDLY BE RELAXED FURTHER, IN VIEW OF THE SANCTION ACCORDED TO ESTABLISH THE CGHS DISPENSARY BUT TO TAKE SHAPE IT HAS TO PASS SEVERAL PROCEDURAL HURDLES, PLACE, BUILDING, DOCTORS, PRA-MEDICAL STAFF, FURNITURE, MEDICINES ETC. IN THE MEANWHILE BY ACCORDING RECOGNITION TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT APPROVED PRIVATE HOSPITALS , THE OLD AND POOR PENSIONERS WOULD BE IMMENSELY BENEFITED.

   THIS IS ALSO TILL THE GOI FRAMES THE MEDICAL INSURANCE POLICY AS RECOMMENDED BY THE 7TH PAY COMMISSION SUBJECT TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF CENTRAL UNIONS /ASSOCIATIONS.

   I SINCERELY URGE YOUR GOOD SELF TO KINDLY FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS PRTICULAR SUBJECT AND DO THE NEEDFUL AND THUS SAVE THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF OLD PENSIONERS ESPECIALLY FROM BECOMING PAUPURS WHILE MEETING THE HUGE PRIVATE HOSPITALS MEDIAL CHARGES.

   THANKING YOU SIR,
   YOURS FAITHFULLY
   S.MURALI, PENSIONERS AND ADVOCATE .
